The CRYP Lakota Arts Fellowship is a 9-month Fellowship Program within our Waniyeto Wowapi Lakota Youth Arts & Culture Institute. The Fellowship program is designed to build confidence, skills and personal growth for teens who have indicated they are considering pursuing a career in the arts.
The 9-month program provides a mentor, trips and opportunities to expand their art skills in a variety of disciplines, including graffiti art, digital arts, traditional arts, sculpture, stenciling, graphic arts, screen printing and more.
Fellows learn the business side of art with classes that include public speaking, entrepreneurship, financial literacy and merchandising.
The impact of public art, discovering how art can foster healing in communities and how youth leadership can make a difference in those communities are explored as well.
Teens are encouraged to apply using the form below or by visiting CRYP in-person.
